I seem to remember that CommonMark includes additional syntax beyond what SE supported so far, specifically bracketed enumeration, i.e. 1), in addition to dotted numbers for creating enumeration lists.

Is this true and would this mean bracketed numbers will now be automatically turned into enumeration lists? This would be an amazing step forward with regards to Markdown's aspirations towards making formatting as intuitive as possible, since every second user who isn't aware of Markdown writes their numbered lists that way and it would be great if their posts suddenly worked automatically without requiring manual revision.
